Download or read book Bethlehem Welcomes Baby Jesus written by Rosanna N. Abanonu and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Praise the God of Israel, it is a boy" they shouted. "Thanks be to the God of my father David" shouted Joseph! Clapping his hands together near his chest he turned east facing Jerusalem. He then raised his hands up to Heaven, bowed his head and continued praising God. They all held their breath listened; the noise became louder and louder as the people drew nearer and nearer. They soon realized that what they were hearing was not noise but songs! The people were singing!This is the Lord's doing, it is marvelous in our eyesThis is the Lord's doing, we will praise him.All that transpired in Bethlehem with the Holy Family is not written in detail. We are not told of all that had happened at the manger after the shepherds' visit. We are only told that they went away rejoicing and told the story to other people. This story is more of a mixture of fiction and non-fiction that I made up based on what is in the bible. I hope that you enjoy reading this story just as much as I enjoyed writing it.Rosanna Abanonu is a retired school teacher who taught for over twenty five years before going back to school for her Masters Degree in Special Education. She was born in a Christian family and was brought up by her Uncle and Aunt. As a child she loved to hear the stories of important personalities in the Bible and when she became and adult she realized that those stories were written in a nut shell, very much condensed. The more she contemplated on the birth of Christ the more she inspired to elaborate more on the story.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
Download or read book Jesus Christ the Savior Is Born written by Elder Belinda Lee McNeal-Walker and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a captivating overview of the true birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Each word is inspired by the Holy Spirit, leaving no opportunity for the desires of the flesh, false doctrine, or traditional thinking to intervene. The Holy Bible provides explicit details concerning the birth, life, and death of Christ. However, his true purpose has been altered by many false teachings, doctrines, and traditional generational customs based on lies, trickery, and deceit, which have ultimately resulted in death. The Bible declares in Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. His purpose is no secret to those who believe and receive. This inspired work is the alpha of a series entitled The Divine Collection for Christ. The purpose of this work is to break the traditional generational customs and provide our children, teens, as well adults, with the truth. As you read this book, allow the Holy Spirit to minister to your heart. As the truth is revealed, take a moment to receive Jesus as your personal savior and repent of any and all sins, including the sin of idolatry associated with false teaching, doctrine, and worship that may have cultivated your life. As children of the Most High God, we are mandated to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our children deserve the truth. The appointed time has come to break the traditional generational customs of lies. The Bible declares in Ephesians 6:4, And, ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The future of our children rest on the foundation that we build for them today. This foundation must be built on truth and not on traditional generational customs.
